Evelyn, a good Christian girl, is sick of the tension in
her house. Her dad hooked up with the dentist, moved out many times, and ended
up living in the same house as Evelyn and her mother at the worse possible
time. Sick of the bickering and silence, Evelyn makes a plan to make her
parents notice her more- become the Bad Evelyn. She stops going to church, cuts
her skirt shorter, stops painting, quits the cross country team, and becomes
the school slut. After hooking up with Todd, one test completely changes her
life; she's pregnant. Mary, Evelyn's counselor, tries to guide Evelyn through
the decision making process of what to do with the baby. Abortion? Adoption?
Keep it? Evelyn has no idea at first, but she eventually rules out abortion.
Telling her mom and Todd was probably the hardest thing Evelyn has ever had to
do, until she lies to her best friend and gets sent to live with her Aunt
Linda. Once you read the beginning of this book, there's no way you can put it down. Each new page shows how Evelyn is changing, physically and emotionally. Watch as old relationships crumble and new relationships sprout. Does Evelyn end up keeping the baby? Find out all of the luring details as you're sucked into this book even more!
This book is perfect for those who don't have a grasp on how good life is with what they have. Behind the fictional story, lessons on pregnancy choices and family importance shine through. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read a book about this, but once I started, I couldn't stop. The ending kept me thinking for a while by letting me decide what might have happened.
